Quote from Nysuatro

To bad they are removing his artwork because it's illegal in Londen and I guess everywhere ...

Uh, that's hard to believe. He's like a national artist there, hard to believe that they're wiping away all his work. Got source?

no it's actually true. to the law tagging is always the same. however they try to save them as often as possible and bring them to museums.

It's not quite as cut and dry as that. It's really down to who's item he's graffitied. A lot of his pieces on private property are kept now because they put the price up, but most pieces on public property are removed apart form some rare cases.

I went to see his show in Bristol this summer, 3 hour queue to get in but it was well worth it.

I lol'd.

he is awesome ... end of statement

If he wanted his work to stay he would've chosen another medium, so it doesn't matter. In fact, it's kind of the point
